Amira Yahaoui.
Tunisian peace activist and founder of Al Bawsala, an NGO which sued the Constituent Assembly for lack of transparency. Al Bawsala also organises debates which bring together deputies (MPs) and local people all over Tunisia, and the people are encouraged to challenge the MPs. The uniqueness lies in the matching of MPs with specific neighbourhoods - MPs with an elite background attend debates in extremely poor neighbourhoods and vice versa. This way Amira aims to create a better understanding within a diverse Tunisian population and to make MPs understand that they have the obligation to work for all Tunisians.
